Answer 2

This excerpt shows that Edward viewed society as made up of sinners.

Step-by-step explanation:

Theologian Jonathan Edwards claimed in this excerpt that God was angrier with the countless people on earth and in his congregation, who were comfortable in their sinful ways even more than he was with the sinners who were already paying for their sins in hell.

He believed that society was made up of sinful people. Even his congregation had a lot of people whose ways were not pleasing in the sight of God.
